I undervolted my predator helios 300 with xtu (-120), and the temperatures were cool for a lot of time. But now the summer began and it reaches high temperatures, so I disabled turbo boost short power max and reduced turbo boost power max from 47.000 W to 15.000 W. Now the temperatures are cool, and the laptop is working fine, but are these settings OK? Or is it unsafe to touch these settings?

    Intel XTU has a bad habit of resetting and not applying the undervolt, operating temperatures rise.  Personally I use ThrottleStop and automate it with Task Scheduler.  Settings are fine as your reducing the nominal value not increasing it, limiting the CPU's performance with resultant lower operating temperature.

    TLDR: Good job :)

    Thanks man, sometimes xtu resetted my undervolt, but it's not a big issue. I prefer using an official software
